2011 Mini Countryman
10 August 2011 Mini Countryman row upscale small car. This ranking is based on analysis of 28 published reviews and test drives and the Mini Countryman and our analysis of reliability and safety.
For 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman is a new Mini crossover, which is both sporty and family. The industry loves this car, but they represent an important question: Is the four-seater with optional four-wheel drive successfully if it targets an audience so small?
Mini Cooper cars are not the family practice. They are really designed for young urban dwellers who want something quick run around the city with room for some people and may hold a week of groceries. For Clubman, Cooper was a bit more family friendly, but not enough to compete with highly ranked practice and family-oriented vehicles like the Honda CR-V and Jetta SportWagen. But with the introduction of the 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman, the reputation of the Mini as a brand for people without children are beginning to change. The Countryman is trying to combine utilitarianism and good results, and according to reviewers, succeed. "But it will sell?" Blog Auto demand. "After all, people will really find a dealer to purchase Mini crossover and Mini owners will always be ready to size up the small car, they learned to love over the years? "
One of the biggest complaints reviewers have with other Cooper models is that they are too small. The Countryman change that. It is about a foot long and six inches wider than the Mini Cooper Hardtop makes a big difference when you sit in the cab Countryman. It is indeed large enough to hold six feet tall passengers, and adults who sit in the back will be relatively comfortable. In addition to being larger, Countryman also sits on the higher ground, giving drivers a clearer view of the road, something to test drivers appreciate. As a crossover, Mini Countryman thought should be available with AWD, which is a first for the brand. The system is called ALL4, and reviewers are satisfied with its performance, even if it is not suitable for rough terrain. In 2011 Countryman also has the most cargo space in the Mini range with a maximum of 41.3 cubic feet with rear seats folded.
But remember, Mini Countryman is not for everyone, but it is more convenient than other cars in the Mini range. The only place where four people, so that families of five or more will need to address affordable compact SUVs that fit their lifestyle. The Countryman has more cargo space than Cooper Hardtop, but is easily beaten by many small cheap cars like the Honda Fit, which is cheaper and more spacious.
If you've always wanted a Mini Cooper, it's easy to get attracted by Countryman, because it promises an experience of driving pleasure and functionality. However, do not get too close. Countryman Check carefully before you decide to buy one. We can conclude that four-seat, is ideal for your lifestyle.
Other cars to consider
2011 Mini Cooper Countryman has a weird place in the market. This is a crossover, but is much smaller and less family friendly than the crossover SUV like the Honda CR-V and Toyota Countryman RAV4.The four-seater, which is unusual, but it seems that the priority Mini seats in addition comforts.
If you know the Mini Countryman not only going to cut, chances are, you are looking for something more practical. You can start with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Both are spacious, competent drivers, which are ideal for parents of three children and lives busy. These are good options, but they can not compete with the performance of the Countryman. In this case, please try the Volkswagen Tiguan. All these models are priced at the same time Countryman (not starting with more than $ 25,000), and are more spacious.
Because of their size, shape, price, and the need for premium fuel, the Nissan Juke is one of the competitors Countryman, but it is more practical than the Countryman. Although the five-seater, the back row is surprisingly small and uncomfortable for adults. It 'best to use a place to put foods that do not fall within the small enclosure Juke. One thing the Juke can match the performance of the Countryman. Its 1.6-liter engine makes 188 horsepower, which is seven more Cooper S Countryman, Countryman and 67 more than the base.
But in the end, if all you want is a spacious five-seater with innovative storage options, a Long cargo space, good fuel economy and be changed, go for the Honda Fit. This is one of the more utilitarian traps a small family can apply.

2011 Mitsubishi ASX
Mitsubishi Motors extends the concept one step below (segment C), with the introduction of a younger brother and sport: the new Mitsubishi ASX compact crossover. Another "world engine for the regions" of Mitsubishi Motors, and therefore the specified name and accordingly, Mitsubishi ASX was first released in Japan in February 2010 (as "RVR"). After its European premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2010 will retail in Europe in late spring 2010.
From concept to reality CX ASX
Sharing the same evocative "Blue Kawasemi" introduction of color, the new 2011 Mitsubishi ASX is a commercial interpretation Concept-cX show car presented at the IAA 2007, whose success convinced the administration of MMC in a production car itself.
More than about 20 cm (4.295 m against the concept is 4.11 m), slightly higher (+ 6.5 cm) and large (+ 2 cm), and offers more vertical tailgate while creating optimal packaging, Mitsubishi ASX share still Concept-cX is the theme of basic design and its car-like sure-footed attitude.
Suggested an open mouth "Jet Fighter" grille - a nod to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. 's F-2 fighter jets and now a characteristic trademark of Mitsubishi Motors almost all road vehicles in Europe (Colt, Lancer and Outlander) - this is a car-like "attitude" was the key to the direction of the Mitsubishi designers: free of any pressure to simulate a heavy marketing SUV to go through in detail (it is not necessary with the Pajero / Montero / Shogun and L200 among ...), were further developed in the Concept-cX vocabulary toward the less polarizing still strong, expressive and finely executed "sports hatch" a good presence and substance.
Retention Concept CX "compact wedge" design concept of the pressure side of the light at the edges, they optimized the overall shape, which is the best use of 14.5 cm longer pitch (2.67 m against 2.525 m) to create a lower profile and more balanced with better integration of the prominent wheel arches. So the roof line running hours to the rear of the car to improve aerodynamic performance (Cd: 0.32) and further emphasizes the dynamic profile.
In front of the Jet Fighter grille looks identical to the Lancer and Outlander. However, it is now intertwined with more clips of substantial research, blend into the hood with a double bulge: this serves two purposes, to promote better pedestrian safety, in spite of a short projection, and also make the visibility the body of the driver, improving maneuverability in the city.
Behind is designed to lower and extend the silhouette, avoiding any sort of chunkiness resulting from a short trip, so that the sharp aerodynamic lip on the bottom of the backlight, thin almond-shaped headlights and a large trapezoidal plate that connects compartment.
Dynamic quality
Inside, the concept of elegance strong sport continues with a clear focus on shape, material and equipment rather than the pursuit of endless fantasy usually SUV-ness.
Pursuant to the outside, Mitsubishi ASX interior reflects a clear sense of the "dynamic quality" expressed through the hooded meter cluster shared with the Outlander, the soft padding around the middle of the dashboard to develop the door trim or silver accents carefully applied on both sides of the audio system or along the door panels.
At the same time, elements such as chrome round of the module around the shift lever, a motorcycle inspired and silver accents on both sides of the console, and meters.
Logically, the textures and materials were chosen to perform the same right key and appearance. Although the interior color scheme is based on a black monotone, the use of contrasting textures and materials are made to generate the necessary momentum.
In this context, particular emphasis was placed on trim areas not affected by the residents. This led to the development of a new type of two-tone upholstery with textured waves for chip contrastive, sporty look.
The same approach has prevailed for the seat upholstery where Mitsubishi designers and their partners in the textile industry has created a new embossed fabric material to add to the overall feeling of quality dynamic sporting activities, adding dramatic black 3D visual sober.

2011 Bentley Mulsanne Review
While paying homage to past great Bentley, memory for the new model for 2011 Bentley Mulsanne and engineering teams was the creation of a Bentley that represents the pinnacle of British luxury cars.
The new Bentley Mulsanne, designed and built at Crewe from the beginning, it reaffirms the intent of the brand to create a new flagship Bentley with refined performance, an unprecedented level of luxury interior and knowledge necessary for the coach to on.
Back to the Bentley Mulsanne name underlines sporting heritage and passion for power and speed. Nothing reflects the trend better than the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours that Bentley has won six times, which is a powerful and reliable race cars thundered down the long straight of the famous Le Mans Mulsanne corner, from which a new model that takes name.
A pure expression of Bentley design
The design of the new Bentley Mulsanne is in a unique fusion of sportiness, elegance and strength coach built. As reflected Bentley S-Type 1950, Mulsanne has a bold design front grille dominated by the traditional Bentley matrix and very prominent, round headlights classic interior with chrome surrounds, flanked by two small clusters of outdoor lamp, all with the latest technology lighting. The mascot of the legendary 'Flying B' retractable radiator is available.
A long bonnet, short front overhang and long rear overhang helps to convey a sense of power and business, strengthen the muscles of the thighs and strong lines that flow smoothly prepared from the back of the front wings. The unique design 20-inch wheels (with optional 21-inch) to strengthen the Bentley Mulsanne powerful, sporty stance.
Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explains the inspiration behind the distinctive appearance Bentley Mulsanne, "the opportunity to design a new Bentley flagship is something effective for the few designers The team wanted to create a sculpted shape that blends classic cues with Bentley heritage modern lines that allow the Brand is a winner, confident in the 21 century .. "
The body is produced in a new manufacturing facility in Bentley headquarters in Crewe, where traditional techniques of metals, developed over six decades, are still widely used in the nine weeks of the construction process. It is the opposite of volume production cars built ... but the very embodiment of Bentley.
The rear screen, for example, is fully enclosed by the body. This provides a smooth, flawless line to the rear of the car that complements beautifully shaped D-pillars - whose complex curves can be created by skilled coach builders. All welds done by hand in the construction Bentley Mulsanne and all panel joints are welded by hand. These further improve the cut "to the look solid" and lead to a very stiff body.
The complex shape of the aluminum front wings, impossible to achieve with conventional techniques of pressing, superforming is created using a technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. This also makes the wings lighter, stiffer and offers an excellent definition of the surface. Other lightweight materials such as composite trunk lid are used to eliminate it as much as possible without compromising quality.

World Premiere, the system works with the door handle keyless entry, stainless steel, incorporating the points of contact to initiate communication with the key for verification and entry. The Bentley Mulsanne also features keyless start, to have an on / off button on the center console.
Bentley interior design team has continued and developed a luxurious interior, which are known for their car, which is based on an extensive research program to identify the characteristics that have defined signature classic Bentley in 1920 to the present day.
Armed with this valuable resource, the 2011 Bentley Mulsanne design team has set very challenging targets for the key design features, such as the design of material, the smell, the harmony of colors and craftsmanship. Similar objectives have been together, and the level of sophistication of the activities of all control mechanisms. The result is a handcrafted design that fully reflects the traditional values of the Bentley, executed to the highest possible standards, which allow customers to customize their cars to their specific needs.
As head of Interior Design, Robin Page said: "More than 170 hours - almost half of the entire construction process - is in the interior of the craft of Bentley at Crewe new Bentley Mulsanne road work is the opposite of mass production - where we started. others stop. "
The use of wood and skins, leather has increased significantly to create a refined and luxurious interior. While classic design features, such as bulls eye air vents (now also mounted in the rear compartment), high quality mirror-matched veneers, leather and hand-finished stainless steel are retained, mixed with new keys such as crystal switches.
The cabin is fully enclosed in a "ring of wood", with a dashboard panel Waistrail uninterrupted wood adorned the Bentley Mulsanne. Investing dial needles in the instrument panel is reminiscent of Bentley first, while the complete dashboard and console design is a subtle reminder of the reason Bentley wings.
Customers can choose from a wide range of high quality veneers, unbleached, natural look, and a choice of inlays: frame, crossbanding contemporary. True to the philosophy Bentley, customers can also opt for a virtually unlimited palette of hides, including the 24 "standard" colors, three of which are new for Bentley. This is an unparalleled choice of veneers, leather and paint colors to ensure that the needs of all customers can be perfectly fitted.
Following detailed customer feedback, a traditional tanning process has been restored to match the wealth, the smell of worn leather that is very reminiscent of vintage Bentley. Only a very small number of suppliers that are hidden in the world have the ability to do that.
Bentley Carpet Bentley Mulsanne is a unique, increasing the depth of the fiber, the density and feel the quality of the cabin. It 'available in different colors complementary to hide. Pure wool, deep pile Wilton woven carpets continue to increase for more than a touch of comfort and luxury.
These materials are shaped by craftsmen and women up to 40 years of experience. Each wheel, for example, can take 15 hours to hand-point (and three times longer if the client chooses the cross stitch). Stainless steel brightware shines so perfectly, thanks to an intensive 10-hour finishing process. A veneer takes two weeks to turn from a crude mound a complete set of matching mirror, well polished leaves.
Re-developed V8 engine and new chassis: power, refinement and efficiency
Bentley's engineers have been three goals for the engine Bentley Mulsanne:
Very easy to produce low-end torque, which customers expect from a great Bentley
Ensure maximum refinement
To meet the stringent requirements of current and future environment through improved efficiency of the engine
While other configurations of transmission took place in the initial phase of the project, it soon became clear that these objectives could best be achieved with a completely new version of the 6 ¾-liter V8 - a configuration that has been used successfully in the past. However, the new Bentley Mulsanne, all the main elements of the engine to be comprehensively re-designed to incorporate the latest technology.
Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Bentley Motors 'Director of Engineering', explains the reasons for V8 Bentley Mulsanne: "Using the V8 granted immense power at low speeds, and fatigue performance are the hallmarks of a Bentley flagship, but also set the engineers to maintain a high added value at all speeds, and equally important to improve the efficiency .. "
To achieve a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, Bentley Mulsanne V8 sees the introduction of two new control systems: cam phasing and the first ultra-luxury, variable flow.
The pioneering use of these technologies in combination allows the engine management system not only Bentley Mulsanne to regulate breathing V8 engine to improve the quality of engine idle speed and torque, but also to close the valves four all eight cylinders for maximum fuel economy at cruising speed.
New lightweight componentry, including pistons, connecting rods and forged crankshaft and reduce the amount of alternative internal friction for improved engine response.
The new Mulsanne, develops the 6 ¾-liter V8 512 horsepower (505 kilowatts bhp/377), while the massive torque (1020 Nm / 752 pounds feet) is now delivered earlier at 1800 rev / min. This dramatic improvement in the delivery of torque just above idle, and ensures all plans with just a touch of the driver accelerator immediately rewarded with the characteristic deep, muffled V8 bubbly and a phenomenal acceleration.
These new technologies complement the new eight-speed automatic, a first in Bentley's flagship comes with paddle-shift.
Global emissions, CO2 and fuel consumption is reduced by more than 15 percent, according to Bentley's environmental commitment.
Prodigious power and torque are complemented by a completely new chassis, unique in the new Bentley Mulsanne. Lighter and stiffer than the previous Bentley flagship, the new chassis benefits both ride and handling.
A new dynamic system control unit powered by a rotary switch mounted next to the shifter can be used to select one of three standard modes - Bentley, Sport and Comfort - offering precise calibration of the suspension systems steering control.
A fourth mode, "Custom" allows the driver to choose custom settings via the media to "tune" Bentley Mulsanne to a preferred driving style.
A new air suspension system with continuously variable dampers creates an even more comfortable and refined at low speeds, and yet can reduce the ride height of the Bentley Mulsanne automatically at high speed to reduce lift and improve the aerodynamic stability. Alloy wheels with 20 inch and 265/45 ZR 20 tires as standard dynamic handling secure. Customers can also choose 21-inch wheels, available in two models, tires 265/40 ZR fitted with 21.
Summary
Although all new Bentley Mulsanne pays respect to the past, is a modern luxury car that offers the best experience of the world, driving - a unique combination of power, refinement and elegance.
Bentley Motors Chairman and CEO Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, said, "No other automobile manufacturer can offer the combination of performance and refinement in a single vehicle The new Bentley Mulsanne is a car that evokes the philosophy of building Bentley the best of luxury. Grand Tourer in the world. "
The new Bentley Mulsanne, designed and built at Crewe from the beginning, it reaffirms the intent of the brand to create a new flagship Bentley with refined performance, an unprecedented level of luxury interior and knowledge necessary for the coach to on.
The design of the new Bentley Mulsanne is in a unique fusion of sportiness, elegance and strength coach built. As reflected Bentley S-Type 1950, Mulsanne has a bold design front grille dominated by the traditional Bentley matrix and very prominent, round headlights classic interior with chrome surrounds, flanked by two small clusters of outdoor lamp, all with the latest technology lighting. The mascot of the legendary 'Flying B' retractable radiator is available.
A long bonnet, short front overhang and long rear overhang helps to convey a sense of power and business, strengthen the muscles of the thighs and strong lines that flow smoothly prepared from the back of the front wings. The unique design 20-inch wheels (with optional 21-inch) to strengthen the Bentley Mulsanne powerful, sporty stance.
Design Director Dirk van Braeckel explains the inspiration behind the distinctive appearance Bentley Mulsanne, "the opportunity to design a new Bentley flagship is something effective for the few designers The team wanted to create a sculpted shape that blends classic cues with Bentley heritage modern lines that allow the Brand is a winner, confident in the 21 century .. "
The rear screen, for example, is fully enclosed by the body. This provides a smooth, flawless line to the rear of the car that complements beautifully shaped D-pillars - whose complex curves can be created by skilled coach builders. All welds done by hand in the construction Bentley Mulsanne and all panel joints are welded by hand. These further improve the cut "to the look solid" and lead to a very stiff body.
The complex shape of the aluminum front wings, impossible to achieve with conventional techniques of pressing, superforming is created using a technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. This also makes the wings lighter, stiffer and offers an excellent definition of the surface. Other lightweight materials such as composite trunk lid are used to eliminate it as much as possible without compromising quality.
To accentuate the beauty of the body, the Bentley Mulsanne features' brightware "exclusively in polished stainless steel, including COVERS threshold and the doors of the womb.

Achieving the desired dynamic character in the Evoque requires a change in the DNA of the Range Rover. Dynamics driving the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to that of a luxury sports sedan, the Range Rover specialists established to provide a more agile driving dynamics and connected.
In particular, the aim was to increase steering precision and agility at low speeds, so that the car was more responsive and fun to drive one of the typical urban driving conditions.
Evoke is a lighter weight, more compact footprint and low center of gravity contributed to a more flexible was critical technical changes are needed to provide the necessary answers.
Range Rover engineers initially focused on optimizing the stiffness of the chassis and body type, followed by careful tuning of the suspension components and the electric power steering (EPAS) system.
From the fully independent suspension - Long travel coil sprung struts front and rear - the rear suspension geometry has been adopted revised to raise the roll center back.
The variable ratio speed-sensitive EPAS system was tuned to direct some straight, and accuracy, the linear nature. Improve the precision and feedback, the control rack is solidly mounted front subframe.
Despite these changes delivered greater agility, handling causes reactions that are flattering and predictable, without any nervous reaction.
Make Evoque balance and stability maintained, which is characterized by long-distance range rover suspension, the engineers developed the car, while maintaining a comfortable ride and connected to the Range Rover Sport, an excellent control of body movements, and roll down.
This fine-tuning of the suspension bushings and spring rates and damping have provided more sporty nature suggests, has not compromised comfort and refinement.
Adaptive dynamics
Range Rover Evoque customers have the ability to specify a state of the art new Adaptive Dynamics feature which uses advanced magnetic ride dampers ™ continuously variable.
With magnetic ride shock absorbers ™ - which is generally mounted on the high-performance sports cars - the Adaptive Dynamics system provides an optimum balance between confident handling and flexibility of controlled rolling.
MagneRide ™ dampers offer continuously variable damper settings between soft (comfort) and hard (sports) extremes, and operate using a special damping fluid that contains magnetic particles. When they have a magnetic field, the liquid becomes viscous, thus increasing the damping.
Compared with a conventional damper valves based on continuous variable, MagneRide ™ can change the damping parameters much faster and has a wider operation, offering a more dynamic stable and secure.
Dynamic adaptation of system monitors vehicle movements at least 1000 times / second, which responds to commands from the driver or the road almost immediately to give more control and minimize body roll, providing a balance, run flat. The system can even detect off-road conditions, and optimize damping accordingly.
Drivers can also choose a dynamic mode with the Terrain Response system, which changes the registry settings to provide an even tighter control of the body, with flatter handling and sharper responses.

Revolutionary design
The new Range Rover Evoque has turned into reality the concept of LRX, marking a bold development of Range Rover design, and offers customers a compact, premium and highly desirable SUV.
A revolutionary and original cross-coupé, capturing Evoke - almost to the millimeter - the magnificent design of the LRX concept. With its advanced lines and a sporty and dynamic profile, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque creates a new segment of premium off-road coupe.
The classic signs of Range Rover design with a bold new interpretation
The exterior features interesting Evoque bold new interpretations of classic clues Range Rover design, including the clamshell hood signature, the floating roof and the solid 'wheel-at-each-corner stance.
Unlike the previous range Rover Evoque is a fairly dramatic increase in the dynamic beltline, muscular shoulder running the length of the car, and a distinctive taper to the floating roofline. A bold graphic design created by the exaggerated wedge window, highlight the line with black columns.
Pushing the wheels of the four corners helps give the car its fixed location, the wheel arches are wide but softly integrated into the body. The carefully sculpted corners dramatically reduce the car's visual overhangs front and rear.
The front design makes a powerful statement on the Range Rover graphic identity created by the bold horizontal grille perforated with two coasts and lighthouses.
The stylish body exudes a strong sense of high quality of its precise, tight shut lines, surprising details, such as air intake hood and side vents, and the gem-quality, thin front and rear lights LED lighting for their signature and tapering blade indicator clusters.
"The performance of the design will result in a strong emotional reaction. His unique style will attract a new generation of Range Rover customers who have never considered an SUV before, such as premium coupe buyers who want to create a bold new statement, "said McGovern.
Modern and premium sports interior
The interior architecture Evoke is strong, clean and quality of the materials of a traditional Range Rover, and applies them in a more contemporary and sporty.
As in most of the Range Rover, the centerpiece of the cabin is the intersection between the elements in bold horizontal solid and dash vertical lines powerful central console.
The designers were also inspired by the elegant forms of the LRX concept interior, capturing the dramatic slope of the center console and the clean lines and elegant instrument panel. The design retains the concept of storage space under the console substantial slope, open structure that reflects the themes of lightness and efficiency found nowhere else in the car.
The exquisite quality and workmanship of the materials is evidenced by the very modern, clean treatment of interior surfaces, including fabric treatment of ventilation holes and horizontal roller shutter in the center console.
Housed in a compact inner curve, the dashboard enhances the sport, premium feel of the interior. The brand has a twin expressive three-dimensional shape of grains illuminated thick needles, and stored in the circular dwellings sports shiny chrome rims.
An optional fixed glass panoramic roof enhances the feeling of space and freedom in the surprisingly spacious interior, flooding in natural light.
Gerry McGovern said: "The luxury, contemporary style to the cabin is the perfect off concept car with the best materials and craftsmanship and sleek and elegant, you say that it is a true range Rover interior, but with more. sporting flavor. "
Range Rover, the craftsmanship, materials and Range Rover
The Range Rover Evoque offer levels of quality and craftsmanship in every detail of the car. Particular attention is given to selecting only the best, top quality materials and the use of these materials with taste and care.
Perhaps the most obvious example of this is wrapped in a luxurious finish of the upper instrument panel. The high quality leather using models of Windsor - beautifully soft high quality hides that have been selected for their exceptional touch and appearance - perfectly hand finished with double stitching in August
The fascia mid-section is also wrapped in leather, which, with sumptuous leather upholstery on the door panels and seats, creates the atmosphere of ultimate luxury. A total of 10m2 of leather - equivalent to more than three full cache - is needed to complete each vehicle. Every aspect of sewing, even to the size and shape of the needle, is also specified by the Range Rover experts, to ensure a perfect finish every time.
Even in models in which the skin is not specified, the instrument panel is still wrapped in high-quality, structured with soft double needle stitching, and a wealth of experience in interior design.
In contrast to the bold leather and sumptuous soft-touch surfaces, said a strong visual authentic metal finish on the horizontal band of the fascia, they surround the fan control, and the striking curved elements on each side of center console . Cold to the touch and beautifully crafted, metal finish is a visual and tactile reminder of the quality of indoor quality.
Meticulous attention to detail in all facets of the construction of the Range Rover Evoque also be illustrated with the thousands of hours beyond the impasse over how all visible parts fit together, ensuring superior quality and consistency goal.
Passing LRX concept to reality
2011 Land Rover Evoque is completely faithful to the LRX concept, beautiful style, capturing the design of nearly a millimeter.
During the development process was to preserve the integrity of the LRX concept highest priority and led to the adoption of new technologies and technical intelligent solutions to maintain the aspect concept car.
The package provides the vehicle with a unique combination of success and cutting style capable off-road geometry and ground clearance. The interior offers excellent accommodation for passengers and luggage, while retaining the essential elements of the position of the Classic Range Rover control driving.
Gerry McGovern said. "The Range Rover Evoque really gives you the best of both worlds - concept car looks combined with comfort and convenience of its large cabin falsely deep, up to the trunk is a car that perfectly suits our lifestyles busy and active customers. "
Sitting slightly lower than the larger Range Rover, the driver accepts the position of the controls for racing, which offers a more sporty feel, while maintaining the important sense of control and command. The result is a more generous headroom than traditionally in many sports sedans, although the low coupe roofline.
Drivers who take their Range Rover off-road Evoke was relieved to know that, in addition to generous ground clearance, the car much better angle of the ramp, the angle of approach and departure angle of other high-end SUV .
PREMIUM DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The new Range Rover Evoque has been designed and developed to provide drivers with a finely judged balance of sporty driving dynamics, performance and sophisticated refinement reactive.
This polished driving experience is true to the values of the Range Rover brand, but adds a more dynamic and sporty, which is consistent with the promise of exciting concept car Evoque in bold.
David Mitchell, chief engineer of the program, explains: "Market research shows that the younger target audience for this car would prefer a more sporty driving character, which has encouraged us to offer a dynamic driving sensation more fun and trendy without losing balance and. refinement, which is an important feature of the Range Rover brand. "
Engaging driving dynamics and sporty
Achieving the desired dynamic character in the Evoque requires a change in the DNA of the Range Rover. Dynamics driving the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to that of a luxury sports sedan, the Range Rover specialists established to provide a more agile driving dynamics and connected.
In particular, the aim was to increase steering precision and agility at low speeds, so that the car was more responsive and fun to drive one of the typical urban driving conditions.
Evoke is a lighter weight, more compact footprint and low center of gravity contributed to a more flexible was critical technical changes are needed to provide the necessary answers.
Range Rover engineers initially focused on optimizing the stiffness of the chassis and body type, followed by careful tuning of the suspension components and the electric power steering (EPAS) system.
From the fully independent suspension - Long travel coil sprung struts front and rear - the rear suspension geometry has been adopted revised to raise the roll center back.
The variable ratio speed-sensitive EPAS system was tuned to direct some straight, and accuracy, the linear nature. Improve the precision and feedback, the control rack is solidly mounted front subframe.
Despite these changes delivered greater agility, handling causes reactions that are flattering and predictable, without any nervous reaction.
Make Evoque balance and stability maintained, which is characterized by long-distance range rover suspension, the engineers developed the car, while maintaining a comfortable ride and connected to the Range Rover Sport, an excellent control of body movements, and roll down.
This fine-tuning of the suspension bushings and spring rates and damping have provided more sporty nature suggests, has not compromised comfort and refinement.
Adaptive dynamics
Range Rover Evoque customers have the ability to specify a state of the art new Adaptive Dynamics feature which uses advanced magnetic ride dampers ™ continuously variable.
With magnetic ride shock absorbers ™ - which is generally mounted on the high-performance sports cars - the Adaptive Dynamics system provides an optimum balance between confident handling and flexibility of controlled rolling.
MagneRide ™ dampers offer continuously variable damper settings between soft (comfort) and hard (sports) extremes, and operate using a special damping fluid that contains magnetic particles. When they have a magnetic field, the liquid becomes viscous, thus increasing the damping.
Compared with a conventional damper valves based on continuous variable, MagneRide ™ can change the damping parameters much faster and has a wider operation, offering a more dynamic stable and secure.
Dynamic adaptation of system monitors vehicle movements at least 1000 times / second, which responds to commands from the driver or the road almost immediately to give more control and minimize body roll, providing a balance, run flat. The system can even detect off-road conditions, and optimize damping accordingly.
Drivers can also choose a dynamic mode with the Terrain Response system, which changes the registry settings to provide an even tighter control of the body, with flatter handling and sharper responses.
All-Weather, All-characteristic surface
As a Range Rover Evoque offers real all-weather, all the surface feature that is characteristic of the brand. Common in big brothers, the new model offers tremendous potential for off-road, which highlight the company signing Terrain Response system.
The four-wheel drive system is an innovative full-time intelligent system which continuously varies the torque distribution front / rear using an electronically controlled Haldex center clutch to provide maximum grip and balance for the conditions driving current.
The Haldex coupling is specially calibrated to fit Evoque is agile and responsive dynamic character, and ensure that it provides a fun to drive at full speed.
For customers that do not require the legendary Range Rover off-road capabilities, a model of two-wheel drive is available that provides an even better fuel consumption. The system of two-wheel drive has been carefully optimized to provide the same agile handling and driving fun than driving all four wheels.

"The powers Green Range Rover Evoque has a comprehensive approach to reducing the environmental impact, not just when using clients, but throughout the life cycle of the car the whole life approach we can consider the best ways to minimize the total carbon footprint, taking into account the recycling of development, manufacturing and end of life, so that we can decisions smarter and more sustainable "
The smallest Range Rover ever
The first step in creating a more sustainable Range Rover is made smaller. Like the LRX concept, the Range Rover Evoque is the smallest ever Range Rover, pack the same level of luxury and technology, but in cellophane in a more compact size and more efficient.
Despite his imposing presence on the road at 4350 mm long, 430 mm Evoque is a massive shorter than the Range Rover Sport, and its dramatic coupe roofline, sits less than 180 mm beyond. Efficiency Evoque footprint can be demonstrated through a comparison with any typical midsize sedan.
A small vehicle is a more durable and compact size of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has helped engineers to reduce weight, improve aerodynamic performance and reduce the amount of materials needed to produce it.
The most efficient architecture also creates the opportunity to benefit from light, high efficiency reduces the turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, which not only leads to superior performance, but also for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions .
Note that the compact Evoque was not achieved at the expense of the traditional virtues of the Range Rover. The car retains the legs and generous interior headroom, safe convenient geometry, off-road capability and higher ground clearance.
Advanced lightweight materials
Weight saving was the primary objective of the development of the Range Rover Evoque, and engineers have applied a series of advanced lightweight materials to make this the lightest Range Rover ever with weights starting at just 1,600 kg.
Reduce the weight creates a virtuous circle, as a lower weight in one area of the car, it is possible to introduce lighter components in another, and so on. Since the fall of the total weight, improves performance and fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced significantly.
Small weight savings have been achieved by smart engineering decisions in all areas of the car, ranging from good acoustic breeze rolling alloy wheels and lightweight, the seats of lightweight structures and materials optimized laser welding spray isolation.
For the ultimate in weight savings, the two-wheel training ground Rover Range Rover Evoque 75 kg lighter than the four-wheel drive version, and allows for superior fuel economy and CO2 emissions for customers who do not require four-wheel all-terrain capability.
